I'm a computer science major at Penn State with a lot of application-oriented programming experience, but also academic experience. Some highlights include 1560 on the SAT and 5 on AP Comp Sci A.

I am from a small town in Iowa and currently a fourth year student at the University of Chicago studying economics. During my time here I have studied abroad twice. Two years ago in Beijing, China and last spring in Athens, Greece. I can speak English and Spanish fluently and can speak a little Mandarin Chinese. After graduation in June, I will be working in finance and specifically financial markets. On the weekends, I enjoy spending time with my friends and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes during the fall football season.
I am a current biological sciences major and bioengineering minor at the University of Notre Dame. As a biology major/bioengineering minor, math and science are my passions, and I love to share the joy I derive from those subjects with students. I have been a math tutor to elementary, middle, and high school students. While my favorite subject to tutor is any type of math, I also tutor biology. As a tutor, I believe that learning should be fun, and work to make it that way. Since I am still currently in school, I am constantly being exposed to new methods of teaching and am able to utilize those methods when tutoring. When I am not in the middle of a good book, I enjoy cooking and gardening.
I am a three-time graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History, and received Master's Degrees in both Education and Educational Administration. I spent 17 years in secondary education, beginning my career as a social studies teacher and then transitioning to several administrative roles including dean of students, activities director, and principal. I currently tutor in English, Writing, and Essay Editing. I have spent time tutoring Vietnamese students applying to colleges and universities in the United States, assisting them with their application essays from concept to completion. I love to teach, whether that is how to swim, how to water ski, or how to write an excellent essay. In any teaching situation, what I enjoy most is watching the fear leave students' eyes as they realize that they can do something they didn't believe they could do. That's why tutoring in college application essays is my favorite. Essays can be intimidating, especially when admission to college is riding on them, but the barriers that cause fear can be easily broken down and every student can be empowered to write excellent essays. I've worked with students applying to nearly all of the top 25 universities in the United States. I take a very personal approach to tutoring, meeting students where they are and walking alongside them to get them where they want to be. When I'm not working, I enjoy doing anything with my dog and anything outside, especially if it involves being under, in, or on water.
Hello! I'm Eleanor and I currently tutor more than 30 subjects for Varsity Tutors, specializing in linguistics and more English-focused coursework/testing. I am currently a master's student at Columbia University. I have a bachelor's in journalism and mass communication as well as global health studies. I also earned a minor in German. During the 2023-2024 academic year, I served as a Fulbright Scholar in Germany, where I taught English as a second language. I look forward to working with you/your student!
I am a chemistry Ph.D. graduate of the Wayne State University. I have also been tutoring chemistry for more than six years. With my extensive experience, I'm able to help struggling students and improve their knowledge in various fields of chemistry. I enjoy teaching and seeing student's progress. During my spare time, I travel and read books.
Hello! I recently graduated with my Bachelor's in Russian, Political Science, and Ethics & Public Policy. I spent the summer on a Critical Language Scholarship for intensive Russian study in Latvia, and plan to attend law school next year. I love learning new languages, and if you feel the same way or would like to try something new, I would love to connect!
I break nursing concepts into clear, manageable parts and connect every topic to real clinical examples. By simplifying complex material and grounding it in realworld application, I help students build confidence, strengthen critical thinking, and understand how classroom knowledge translates into safe, effective patient care.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Bettendorf's 15 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Bettendorf Community School District, Pleasant Valley Community School District, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Iowa academic standards.
Bettendorf schools maintain a 15.3:1 student-teacher ratio, which is solid, but even in well-staffed classrooms, individual learning needs can get overlooked. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific gaps and learning style, adjusting pacing and approach in real-time—something that's difficult in a group setting, no matter how small.
Tutors working with Bettendorf students are familiar with Iowa Core standards and the specific benchmarks taught across local schools. They can target areas where your student is falling behind, reinforce concepts aligned with grade-level expectations, and build skills that support success on state assessments and classroom performance.
Math and reading comprehension are the most frequently requested subjects for students in the Bettendorf area, particularly as students move into middle and high school where concepts become more abstract. We also see strong demand for test prep (ACT, SAT), science support, and writing skills—all areas where personalized instruction makes a measurable difference.
The first session focuses on assessment and connection. The tutor will learn about your student's current challenges, strengths, and learning preferences, review recent schoolwork or test scores, and establish what success looks like. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan that addresses your student's specific needs and aligns with what they're learning in their Bettendorf classroom.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families to find a tutoring plan that fits their budget and schedule, whether that's weekly sessions leading up to a test or ongoing support throughout the school year. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's needs.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many hold degrees in their subject area, have classroom teaching backgrounds, or bring specialized credentials (like ACT/SAT certification for test prep). Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver effective, personalized instruction aligned with Bettendorf's educational standards.
Many students show noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between appointments accelerate results. We recommend setting specific goals with your tutor so you can track progress together.
